“The world has changed since I began to practice Money Coaching, more than twenty years ago. When I saw Katie B Smith’s informative and useful website, and especially after we held a Discovery Session, I knew that it was not time for me to retire. My work with Katie has taught me to change with the times, shift my practice into the 21st century, and transform my work to be more relevant. From guiding me through social media platforms, such as LinkedIn, to sharing of Calendly, I have learned to make my work more efficient and effective. And as long as Katie is around as my youthful mentor, I will likely never be fully retired. Katie has helped me to discover that my own wisdom is valuable, and that I am fully capable of sharing my life’s experiences for the benefit of others. I am grateful for my work Katie, and I give her my highest recommendation.”

“At the start of my mentoring experience with Katie, I was in transition. I had just closed a yoga/fitness business and knew that I wanted to return back to leadership coaching. The challenge I had was believing in myself as a professional and talented leadership coach. I was all in my head, worried about my credibility and concerned about what others thought of me due to my career change and closure of a business. After working with Katie for 12 coaching sessions, I was able to uncover and demonstrate coaching competencies by coaching. Katie helped me take the step and reflected on amazing outcomes. I watched before my eyes other lives change as I changed my whole perspective on myself. Meeting with Katie kept me accountable and on track to follow my heart. Today, I created a position within my new organization where I internally coach employees. My experience with Katie was positive and always looking forward to see what I can create next.”

“Working with Katie as a mentor coach, was everything I could have hoped for, plus everything I needed that I didn’t even know I was missing. She challenged me in areas that were blind spots and frankly sometimes a little uncomfortable, and yet I always felt safe and supported. In the end, I am a more present, far more aware of how I am showing up- physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I feel well prepared to launch into the next phase of my coaching journey. She is definitely a Master of her craft! Highly recommend!”

“Having Katie as my mentor coach, I benefited in two ways. With her direct and focussed feedback I was able to develop my competencies and presence in the coaching conversations further and thus helping my clients to gain more clarity and shedding the light on what matters most to them. She is also a source of inspiration when it comes to developing a coaching business. She is generous in sharing her own experiences and useful hints. With her help I defined next steps on developing my business and gained more confidence in following my way.”

“I had the opportunity to experience Katie B. Smith as a mentor during my coaching journey toward ICF certification. Katie provides a safe supportive environment for me to uncover my blind spots and delve deeper into how I am showing up as a coach and an individual. Though I felt confident as a coach when I began with Katie, she helped me deepen my skills and move toward a more intentional coaching practice. Mentoring allowed me to uncover areas I could improve with honest, deliberate feedback. I would highly recommend Katie, her coaching style is direct, purposeful and powerful.”

“Katie is very knowledgeable about ICF core competencies. She has enhanced my understanding and increased my self-awareness regarding the core competencies. She has especially helped me in the areas of intuition, direct communication, and presence. She was able to help me understand how to more effectively use the core competencies in my coaching style, which helped me to deepen my coaching skills. I would use Katie again for mentor coaching and recommend her to others.”

“Katie helped me launch my own coaching platform, and it is a much more solid, comprehensive, authentic, and serviceful platform than it would have been without her, and it probably took half the time it would have taken me to do it on my own. Katie is a fantastic brainstorm and accountability partner. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of times she would suggest out-of-the-box ideas that would open up new vistas into which my project could expand in resonant ways. She has a balanced approach between compassionate and direct feedback, and was encouraging through verbal affirmation at the ends of sessions. I highly recommend Katie to anyone making a career transition, wanting to improve their leadership skills, and create new opportunities while staying true to themselves in their business.”
